Thursday Update (written on Friday)

Short and sweet - worked out in the gym and on the squash court (humbled very badly by the men's baseball coach...) and had a couple of great conversations with our athletes who are continuing to see great progress. It always amazes me to think about how people gauge improvement...is it going faster over the same distance? Going the same speed but for longer? Is it going the same speed but with less rest? Is it going slower but feeling like it's so much easier? Okay, probably not the last one...going slower isn't an option but I think our athletes can gauge improvement in many ways as long as they think about them first.

We have some recruits on campus now and I'm really excited for both of them. Their academics are top notch and they seem like really thoughtful engaged athletes.
